Here's a roundup of what we've just launched--we hope you have fun using these tools when finding Patch 5.2's new pets!

Battle Pet CalculatorOur biggest addition is a Battle Pet Calculator, showing a pet's Health, Power, and Speed based on its Breed, Quality, and Level:\tLevel: All battle pets useable by players can be leveled up to 25. Untameable pets display their static level.\tQuality: All battle pets useable by players can be acquired or upgraded to Rare quality. Some pets, including all wild ones, can be initially found as Poor, Common, or Uncommon quality too. Tamer pets that are epic or legendary are marked accordingly.\tBreeds: This one is a bit beyond Battle Pets 101, but it can really affect your pet's performance. Pets can come in one of 10 breeds, which inflate your three primary stats in various ways. Many wild pets have the option to come in multiple breeds, so you might end up catching a few pets before you find the Breed that suits your pet's skillset.

We've displayed which breeds each pet can come in, and given each breed its own button with icons and percentages so users can quickly see what type of stat boost each breed offers. To learn more, check out WarcraftPets' Guide to Pet Breeds and Breed IDs.

The calculator is found at the top of each Battle Pet's NPC page.

Improved Battle Pet ListviewUsers liked how we displayed pets in both a gallery and traditional form, so we added some details to enhance your search results:From both listviews, you can now see a breakdown of a pet's level 25 stats, as well as all of their abilities. We've added untameable trainer pets to results and you can now reference their static stats and level.We've also marked which pets are non-combat companions, untameable trainer pets, and elite pets.We've further refined the Gallery's display: mousing over a pet will now bring up enhanced information, including the levels for all pet abilities and what slot they can be placed in.

AbilitiesUsing the format of our Spells filter page for reference, we've updated http:\/\/www.wowhead.com\/petabilities to contain many more filters.You can filter by Mechanics such as Dodge and Poisons, as well as choosing from a variety of other filters including Buffs, Debuffs, Combat Order, Weather Effects, and bonus-granting abilities.We've also added some general filters for things like Pet Type, Ability Families, and Weather Effects.

Based on user feedback, we've added some additional stat columns to the abilities section on all battle pet pages: Levels (different pets can learn the same ability at different levels), Accuracy, Duration (how many turns an ability lasts for), Cooldown (how many turns must pass before an ability can be used again), Base Damage, and Base Healing.

We've also cleaned up ability search results and have removed Aura versions of abilities from the default display to make things less confusing for our users.

Well this certainly seems to be an improved version of some...other ones.

This sounds great and all, but how do we actually access the function?

The stat tool is on all battle pet NPC pages. The other sections can be accessed from Database > Battle Pets. We already had existing \/petspecies and \/petabilities pages, but they needed some improvements. We'll be adding a hub under Tools if users quickly want to navigate this.

I still don't understand breeds or how to recognize them in the wild.

I think this is fantastic and very helpful!

On a side note I wish I knew who the winners were of that Mini Tyrael giveaway, mostly so I can stop dreaming about winning and how amazing it would be to run around WoW with him. My Paladin on Tyrael's Charger with Mini Tyrael flying beside him for guidance as he fights for the Light, oh how amazing it would be!

BreedIDs are a way of telling you what the pet's strengths are. It could be Speed\/Speed meaning it's super fast, or Power\/Power meaning it's really strong on attacks, Health\/Health meaning it's not as fast or strong as some others, but has a high health pool.

There are combonations on those, and there is Balanced. It's a perfectly balanced pet, no ability stronger than any of the others.

I remember there being something insane like 22k+ entries for this. The first place and grand prize winners were all long-time WoWhead accounts or contributors, which indicates that the selection process wasn't truly random, but I'd prefer that anyday over accounts made in the past few days winning like in the 2008-2010 Wowhead contests lol. Fresh accounts tend to comprise the majority of entries, accounts that are probably duplicates. If that wasn't the case, feel free to correct me. It's not my intention to offend anyone, just thought I saw a correlation there with the winners :)

Anyhow, it looks like you didn't win, maybe next time :) If you had won, you probably would have received an e-mail to confirm.
